Paul, his son, and Lady Jessica, his concubine, flee into the desert.On the point of death, they are rescued by a band for Fremen, the native peopleof Arrakis, who control Arrakis' second great resource: the giant worms thatburrow beneath the burning desert sands.
In order to avenge his father and retake Arrakis from the Harkonnens, Paulmust earn the trust of the Fremen and lead a tiny army against the innumerableforces aligned against them.
And his journey will change the universe.
